White spots on teeth also known as tooth decalcification are a very common concern. Enamel decalcification occurs when the remineralization process of a tooth is disrupted. This stage is visible before cavitation has occurred, and has the ability to be reversed by saliva induced remineralization. Saliva cleanses the mouth of food and debris, removing sources that promote acidity. Saliva also has the ability to dilute and remove organic acids from thin layers of plaque. Saliva is supersaturated with calcium and phosphate ions. It contains electrolytes and organic molecules that act to stabilize acid levels and promote the tooth remineralization cycle.
